Thailand's leadership, with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin at the helm, aims to strengthen the country's Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry and improve its digital framework.

 

The announcement came during the Microsoft Build: AI Day Event, where the Prime Minister highlighted AI's role in reshaping a multitude of sectors.

 

Thailand's implementation of advanced digital infrastructure, such as 5G infrastructure, broadband, mobile connectivity, and an international submarine cable network is evident.

 

This is further supported by the 'Ignite Thailand' plan launched in February. Meant to make Thailand a regional leader in eight key industries, the initiative will lead high-tech industries towards a more secure digital ecosystem.

 

This aligns with a three-year strategy (2024-2027) to enhance the utilization of AI and cloud computing in the country. The Board of Investment has integrated digital technology into strategic investment options, offering substantial incentives for digital-focused activities.

 

Furthermore, the government is committed to transitioning towards green energy, with a goal to derive 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2040. In partnership with Microsoft, a 'sustainability sandbox' will be set up to spur environmental innovation.

 

In November last year, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Microsoft, cementing Thailand's mission towards an AI-driven, cloud-first future. Prime Minister Srettha recognizes this partnership as a critical step in positioning Thailand as a prime destination for the digital industry.

Big, repeating announcements, small, repeating achievements.
Thaksin muppet. T. should run the country by himself. At least more efficient, as all these clowns, and braggers who came after him.
